GTA IV to Take 100 Hours to Finish

Rockstar told videogamer.com that Grand Theft Auto IV will take 100 hours to play all the way through. "If you're not in a rush and you answer the phone when it rings it'll take about 100 hours to complete", they were told. "It's harder to distinguish between main and side missions - there are loads of both. But there are more main missions than side missions. It's not as clear cut as it used to be because of the phone."

We love this, not only because we were always kind of annoyed at how linear GTAs have been, but because it means there are tons of extras and little side plots that you can choose to follow or ignore.

The GTA IV release date has not been pushed back again yet. It's currently April 29, 2008 and stands a good chance of staying there.
